kawaiiNihongo - Learn Japanese

I really like this app, it really helps you stay interested and focused with its creative game set up, almost like a real class. I super recommend this app if you want to learn, it’s well organized and treats you like a real student as you climb up the ranks. I just wish it gave us control to go over the specific assignments we still have trouble in. It does seem to give you an option to go over your mistakes but only when you pay for the premium, which I don’t mind I’ll find another way to go over the mistakes, but if that was free it would’ve been perfect. Nonetheless really well made app 👏👏👏

There are free resources out there that are much more helpful. I have 2 main complaints about this app. First, there is absolutely no point in playing an audio prompt then asking how to write that in romaji. That’s literally just English. Second, on the questions where you need to type your answer, you type using the English keyboard and the app automatically converts it to hiragana. But then it marks it incorrect because you didn’t use kanji. But the app doesn’t give you a way to insert the kanji. You need to download the Japanese keyboard onto your phone from the Settings app in order to type kanji (granted, you should do that anyway if you’re learning Japanese). But even then, these beginner level questions are requiring you to have already learned a lot of kanji.
